Confirmed
coronavirus cases in Brazil surged past 600 on Thursday, more than
doubling in two days, as a diplomatic spat over the disease’s
origins between President Jair Bolsonaro’s son and the Chinese
ambassador threatened relations with Brazil’s top trading partner.
The president sidestepped this and other controversies in his
weekly Facebook broadcast on Thursday evening, saying that the
coronavirus outbreak in Brazil should peak in three to four months,
and the country will return to normal in six to seven months. After
blaming the global spread of the virus on China, the son, Eduardo
Bolsonaro, attempted to defuse the situation on Thursday, saying he
stood by his criticism of the government in Beijing but did not
intend to offend the Chinese people.
